THE ECCLESIOLOGIST, 1859, VOL. 20 (CLASSIC REPRINT)

Excerpt from The Ecclesiologist, 1859, Vol. 20Sim - Will you permit me to make a few remarks on the second article of your Correspondent on Whitewash and Yellow Dab, as it perhaps more than incidentally refers to my own in a former num ber on the abuse of Polychrome.I perfectly agree with your correspondent that beauty of colour, composition, and form appear to be laid everywhere before mans eyes with a perfect unity of purpose to suggest to him ideas of life, and to relieve him from the dulness and deadness of mere material. I am only at issue with him as to the extent to which the combination and application of them should be carried. I am unwilling to take to myself the remarks which he proffers of deficiency of perception in colour merely because I do not advocate its extensive introduction into churches. He says that he cannot accept my axiom, too hastily assumed. That colour which is a necessity in nature is but an accident in art.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
